Helena

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING OMGGG

She be giving me rashta vibe

lmao yes tho no one can be as annoying as trashta

I mean she can’t refuse the prince she’s a maid

They are not comparable at all, I mean in the beginning it seems like that but as the plot progresses we learn helena is helpless, she is literally being tormented by the men in this book, not every woman has to be a badass, it's fine if they are weak

She doesn't refuse him bc she likes him, that's the issue

She doesn't, do you see how the crown prince is? Look at the way he treats eris who is a noble herself, tell me what a girl like helena can do??

Exactly! #－.－)

Nothing bc she doesn't want to, in Eris first live Eris was the one humiliated with the dress so Helena never felt bad about it, this time she felt bad because she was the one humiliated.
The issue here is that she lets everything be because she likes the prince and the situation flavours her, the prince actually listen to her bc she likes her

How do you know Helena didn't feel bad when original Eris was humiliated?
She knows that both her and Eris are pretty much powerless against the crown prince.. Helena has given up going against his orders because someone has to suffer because of it..

Where tf does it say helena likes the prince? Did you even read her pov? Eris is a noble lady in a high position and she cant go against the prince, you think helena the powerless maid can? Theres something called power imbalance, yall just blind hating at this point

Righttt, like I didn't like her before but the more that gets revealed the more you understand why she acts like that. She has no power and has these obsessive and powerful men chasing after her to fulfill their stupid egos. The situation is way more complex and a lot people in the comments are proving they don't have critical thinking skills .

Idk from what I can see she doesn’t like him in that sense I feel like a he’s just being a pushover maybe that’s my he likes her bc he can control her

uhmmm. no?? she's a fucking maid with no power, she really doesn't have a say in this matter, clearly she wants to leave but can't

the internalised misogyny in your statement... god

It isn't, re-read all the chapters, the prince does listen to Helena, she has never tell him herself she may be late sometimes or no, because the situation benefits her and that position, having the prince's attention is what she wants because she likes him.

Because Eris herself said it the one running away was her and not Helena, Helena stayed inside, at the party. The only reason she left this time is bc the one humiliated was her

Exactly! Either of them ran away because they were humiliated.. Never mentioned that Helena didn't feel bad about Eris.. You're making that up yourself.. And about liking the prince? She doesn't.. She just wants to survive.. At least the Emperor is favorable towards Eris so no one can actually harm her, not even the crown prince himself.. But what about Helena? If she goes against their wishes what is going to happen to her, can you imagine?

Honestly, I think we need to stop arguing with them, cause it feels like it's projection cause like before you can say but now as the plot has developed more, if your stance doesn't change then you are just dense

Aye.. You're right..
